They Can't Order Me To Stop Dreaming
Oh well now Madi was blushing red. That was a really nice thing to say about the deepest reaches of someone's soul, though she was sure Sequoia was just too excited to think about magic so personally. She was probably just glad she'd succeeded, happy to find the answer and not thinking about what it meant. Or maybe Madi was just overthinking everything because she was starved for social interaction and had cripplingly-low self esteem.
Either way, she had to give Sequoia an answer. So she defaulted to the easiest way she could talk about anything: dissassociating herself from the emotions and turning it into a magic lecture. "It's the magic I gave to the plant, so it can use it's own magical properties in the potion I'm eventually gonna make with it. The same type of magic has to get fed into the potion the whole time you're making it, so it's a bad idea to use someone else's magic and ingredients in your potions. Unless you're literally a master or something, mixing magics usually just ends in explosions and disasters. That's why I wanted to make sure you could feel the difference, so our energies don't clash and get either one of us hurt."
